Lionel Trilling was an American literary critic, author, and teacher. Trilling was a member of the group known as "The New York Intellectuals" and was a frequent contributor to the Partisan Review. Although he never established a new school of literary criticism, he is viewed as one of the great literary critics of the twentieth century for his ability to trace the cultural, social, and political implications of the literature of his time.
